The history

The seller bought this house 10 years ago as a bachelor, but now he and his partner are expecting their second child. The growing family is headed to the ‘burbs.

The fate

The buyers are a married couple from the area who are downsizing from a larger home. They take possession in January.

The sale

The agent’s strategy was to price the house aggressively to generate multiple offers. It worked: there were three offers, two of them within just $10,000 of each other. The sellers accepted the highest, at $110,000 over asking.
